TUCSON, Ariz. — A suspect wanted for murdering their cousin in California was apprehended by federal authorities Monday night at a Tucson bus station.
Clarence Johnson Jr., 33, was taken into custody by the U.S. Marshals Service as he was allegedly attempting to evade law enforcement by fleeing to Arkansas.

He was taken in custody without incident and was booked into the Pima County jail.
